Thursday, July 17 GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON

For July 17 the John Lewis day of action, Bloomfield Sustainability Network will not be hosting an event, but there ARE several others in New Jersey. Please find events on this site: https://goodtroubleliveson.org/

There are events in Newark, Fanwood, Fort Lee, Montclair and Union to name a few.

We WILL BE IN NEWARK OR OTHER LOCATIONS THAT DAY.

We recommend the event in Newark as it begins at 4 pm at the Federal Building—what a great place to protest our Federal Government, and will end at THE MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. STATUE at 495 Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.

Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.

On Thursday, July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.

From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America, the power lies with the people, and we’re rising to prove it.

This is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom.

Please note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
